Reminder there are still taxes on tips and overtime..

House budget resolution did not eliminate taxes on tips, overtime

Conservative social media influencers and Republican lawmakers claim that the GOP-led House passed a bill February 25, 2025 that eliminated taxes on tips and overtime pay, delivering on one of US President Donald Trump’s campaign promises. This is false; the budget resolution — subject to an agreement with the Senate — outlines a blueprint for taxation and spending, with further legislation required for specific policies.

Nowhere in the measure — which passed by a 217 to 215 vote, with one Republican siding with 214 Democrats in voting against — are tips or overtime even mentioned (archived here and here).
